In the Matter of SHONTA GUNN, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
May 25, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
JOSEPHINE GUNN, CHARLES MAIDEN, and
DARYL RICARDO LACEY,
No. 227412
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 95-334286
Respondents,
and
AARON TYRONE HAYDEN,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Zahra and Owens, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court order terminating his
parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(h); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(h).
We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination was
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337;
445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the evidence did not show that termination of respondentappellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the
trial court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child.
